    Me.... I am running the standard ones they recommend for a non loaded car (it was in the fuel flap I believe for the pressures).

        I put 39psi in the front and back as they tend to wear more evenly...

              Everyone still agree with these pressures?

              Checked my car tonight and they had 46 psi which is the loaded recommendation. I lowered it to 39 as per the specs.

                Mine are still the same.
                Nice even wear across the top.

                    Stick to the quoted pressures on the fuel flap sticker, VW and all other companys including the tyre manufactures spend millions on working out the correct pressure psi/bar to get the best ride, handling and wear out of the tyres for that certain car with that size/ rated tyres...Just make sure you check your pressures when they are cold if possible..........-VW-

                      40/40 on the wagon. Cro, can i ask why you run them higher, better performance? Better wear? Firmer ride?

                        Better performance, with no comprimises on tyre life.

                        I don't have a compressor at home, so it's a pain constantly changing tyre pressures when I go for a spirited drive. If I did have the compressor I'd probably run 41/40 for a softer ride and 44/43 for spirited drives.
